**GIVEAWAY CLOSED**

Anyone notice the new Think Humanity info

that has been sitting in my sidebar for a few days?

I was introduced to Think Humanity around October of 2010.
I was shopping for my sister in law a Christmas gift. I knew that she had a special place in her heart for Uganda. She got to visit Uganda while in college, and the people there tugged on her heart strings in more ways than one. Now, she and her husband sponsor 3 kiddos through Compassion. They send them letters and goodies, but most importantly they sponsor them financially.

I was on etsy, and I simply searched "Uganda" with sister Tara in mind.
That was when I was bonded with this amazing organization, Think Humanity.
I read the mission:

"Think Humanity provides rent, utilities, medication

and school supplies to teenage girl refugees by renting

a hostel 50 miles away from the refugee camp.

Think Humanity has also provided other services in

refugee camps such as; distributing birthing kits to expectant

mothers, giving shoes to refugee children, helping

individual secondary students with their education, mosquito

nets distributions and medical treatment at the

Think Humanity Health Centre in Hoima, Uganda."

I knew that Tara would appreciate this gift.

I purchased a bracelet that provided a mosquito net to a family in Uganda.

Little did I know that her husband was planning a surprise trip for her to UGANDA! They went back in January and got to meet their Compassion Kids!

This is tara and hilda/josephine/aguti :)

Aren't I blessed to have such an amazing, mission-minded Bro & Sis in law?

If these pictures touched your heart, and you want to help support the people in Uganda head on over to Think Humanity's etsy shop and make a purchase. All of the beads are handmade by Ugandan women out of recycled paper.

"Think Humanity has partnered with a group of

women from Uganda that live in the Acholi Quarter

Camp for Internally Displaced Persons. We personally

know these women. We are not simply purchasing jewelry

in local shops or at the airport like many do. These

women are making beads to help earn family income

and sustain a community financed food-aid program for

their children. We purchase the jewelry from them and

they benefit, but then we sell in the USA at a reasonable

profit. 100% of the money then goes back to help with T

hink Humanity projects. It will then benefit those

refugees displaced from war-affected countries living
